Chapter 15, less loss is gain
April 17th, which is already the end of mid-April, originally thought that the price would fluctuate and adjust slightly, and it would continue until the end of the month, but there were too many surprises.
The People's Bank of China raised the benchmark interest rate and mortgage rate, directly using financial means to control the problem of overheated housing prices, but for the entire market economy, the target of the impact is not only real estate investment.
On the day the news came out, the price did not show much fluctuation, and Zhang Guofu and Wang Jianguo's first reaction after receiving the news was: "It's going to really start!"
The market also seems to be verifying the two people's inference, and the next day the price of rebar and high line in steel began to decline, while at the same time the price of iron ore stopped its upward trend and began to consolidate. Zhang Guofu and his son's judgment is that the price is only the beginning and not a small consolidation, so step up shipments to reduce inventory and minimize losses.
Shenghua Steel, Shenghua Trade and Shenghua Steel Pipe almost all made the same decision, to speed up the implementation of the intensity and preferential range, and on the second day of Shenghua and Fuliang's response, the price of the overall market began to adjust, and the price was lowered in different ranges.
By the end of April, the price had been reduced by more than 100 yuan, allowing the two companies to reduce their losses by the greatest margin. The reality is that the market is not good, no matter how tempting the price you offer, it is difficult to get the recognition of customers, and it has completely become a situation where there is no market.
Trading companies are also reducing inventory to the greatest extent, and sometimes they would rather have no inventory to sell and pick up the goods directly from the manufacturer, rather than be willing to purchase the goods and risk the loss of price reduction. Even if the manufacturer gives a very attractive price, the business would rather buy less or purchase according to the actual order.
After the end of the month, only Guo Xiaotian, the purchasing manager, Qian Luming, the financial director, and Chen Youdao, the production manager, were left, and the sales were Chen Shu, and the leaders of other departments had dispersed. At this time, Wang Shouye began to carry out the following content, and of course the first party became Chen Shu.
"Now there are only a few of us left, and I especially praise our company's Chen Shu, because he predicted the market and made the right decision for our company, after all, now less loss is earned. Now how difficult it is for our sales work to be carried out, everyone sees it, and they all know how the situation of their peers is. ”
"Our company has compressed the finished products and strip inventory to the greatest extent before the price reduction, which is due to Chen Shu's accurate market analysis, and everyone sees the situation of our sublimation steel pipe, but we don't know how many losses our sublimation steel and sublimation trade have avoided. ”
"This amount is not tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of can be described, but millions of losses of nearly 10 million, now we have a sufficient supply of whether we purchase strip steel or iron powder, and can get the goods at a very favorable price, and even ship in arrears. ”
"The price has continued to fall for 12 days, some strip mills and pipe factories have stopped production or semi-shutdown, we have become a rare factory, because in the early stage of our low inventory to reduce their own occupation to the greatest extent, now can still turn over, but I hope that all departments will work hard to stick to this difficult stage, especially the sales department. ”
"Staying today, we can't just praise Chen Shu verbally, I hope that when the bonus is scored in this half year, the contribution made to the company can be counted, and the people who contribute to the company can't get benefits, this is the focus of my emphasis today! I don't know what you think?" Wang Shouye asked.
"I agree with Mr. Wang's idea. Li Haowen was the first to express his views, and the leaders of several other departments also agreed, and the meeting ended smoothly.
Although it was just a simple meeting, it expressed the affirmation of the company's and the leadership of Chen Shu's ability to judge the market, and also affirmed Chen Shu's contribution to the company.
In addition to summarizing the company, the meeting also made arrangements for the May Day holiday, and at least half of the sales personnel are on duty every day to ship as much as possible to ensure the normal production of the company. Because he didn't arrange it, Chen Shu planned to take a rest, that is, the day off when there were more people on duty that day, which meant that Chen Shu had to come to work every day.
On the first day of May Day, Chen Shu went to class and found that Liang Jianjun and other salesmen were there, that is, there was no one off duty on the first day, which surprised Chen Shu.
"Why don't you all take a break, half of them go to work, and there's nothing wrong with all of them here. Chen Shu said.
"There's nowhere to go, it's all people, it's better to stay in the class for a while, maybe you can still send class cars!" Liu Shiqi said.
"Liang Jianjun, you can drive a few of them to play, or they don't know where to go, and they can't go! I'm here today, and I'll take a break tomorrow if you come? Or we don't have a car, and it's not convenient to go out." As soon as Chen Shu finished speaking, several people looked at Liang Jianjun.
"Damn! Feelings are waiting for me here! Since your Chen Office has spoken, let's work hard Chen Shu for one more day. While it's still early, I'll drive everyone to Leting Yuetuo Island, and we'll come back tomorrow, what about us?" Liang Jianjun began to ask for everyone's opinions.
A few guys suddenly became excited and agreed, but there were still people on duty, so only two people could go, and the others had to stay on duty.
"Li Mengfei, you go with Liang and them, today I and Liu Shiqi are two people, the first day will definitely be fine, I will take Liu Shiqi out on the third day." Chen Shu made everyone clear in one sentence, so as to avoid the trouble of who went and who didn't.
When Chen Shu said that he was going out to play, Li Mengfei was still depressed, there must be nothing to do with herself, although she usually sells some goods, but after all, sales accounting settlement is her own business, and now Chen Shu directly let him go with them, which happened to be in line with his own heart.
"Liang, if it's inconvenient to go back to a few of us, what about us?" asked Chen Shu.
"It's all the same, let her go with me, there are more people, I don't care where you and Liu Shiqi go when the time comes!" Liang Jianjun said, "Let's go, pack up your things, explain what you are doing to Chen and Liu Shiqi, let's go buy some snacks first, and then go!" After finishing speaking, he began to manage the computer.
In fact, Chen Shu's arrangement is also because of Zhang Qiang, because since the market went according to Chen Shu and Zhang Qiang's prediction, Zhang Qiang sent an invitation to Chen Shu, asking Chen Shu to come to Leting on May Day, and invite Chen Shu to eat seafood at that time.
In fact, Zhang Qiang's father also wanted to meet Chen Shu, after all, his understanding of Chen Shu was heard from his son's introduction, and he knew very well what his son's situation was. Zhang Qiang is influenced by himself, and he definitely does not lack leadership and decision-making ability, nor does he lack the ability to analyze and judge information, the key is that he does not have enough time to collect and analyze these things.
As for Zhang Guofu wanting to see himself, if he has any other ideas, I'm afraid he will know when he sees him.
